This paper focuses on the development and validation of an optimal motion planning method for computer-assisted surgical training. The context of this work is the development of new-generation systems that combine artificial intelligence and computer vision techniques in order to adjust the learning process to specific needs of a trainee, while preventing a trainee from the memorization of part...

We present an efficient method within an active vision framework for recognizing objects which are ambiguous from certain viewpoints. The system is allowed to reposition the camera to capture additional views and, therefore, to resolve the classification result obtained from a single view. The approach uses an appearance based object representation, namely the parametric eigenspace, and augment...

The idea of a presidential address seems to require a lecture delivered in the most refined and dignified scientific atmosphere yet understandable to the layman, a lecture which treats a difficult field of mathematics in such a complete manner that the audience has the excitement, the aesthetic enjoyment of seeing a mystery resolved, perhaps only with the slightly bitter feeling, of asking afte...

The MVP model-based sensor planning system for robotic vision is presented. MVP automatically synthesizes desirable camera views of a scene based on geometric models of the environment, optical models of the vision sensors, and models of the task to be achieved. The generic task of feature detectability has been chosen since it is applicable to many robot-controlled vision systems. For such a t...

Computer vision methods can be applied to a variety of medical and surgical applications, and many techniques and algorithms are available that can be used to recover 3D shapes and information from images range and volume data. Complex practical applications, however, are rarely approachable with a single technique, and require detailed analysis on how they can be subdivided in subtasks that ar...

Abstract With the rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, there are more and fields UAV application. This research mainly discusses patrol path planning based on machine vision multi-sensor fusion. article studies how to apply ultrasonic, a classic ranging sensor, obstacle avoidance UAVs. The designed ultrasonic system is complete set hardware software systems. part consi...
